A RenlY to WMnrtha."

At a called meeting of the WOmen's
Union Benevolent Society, held March I'D,
the following communication was ordered
TO be published in the Wheeling DAILY
REGISTER:
To the Editor Of the Register.
SRA communication addressed to
you, in your paper of March 2lst, headed
a New Society to be Formed" and
signed Martha" is 4 serious reflection on
the Board of Health and the Health Officer.
And who is Martha" that she should
presume to place the WOmen's Union
Benevolent Society in light before the
public, that it should appear to reflect on
the committee or officers in authority.
The meeting that was held on Friday,
the 18th inst, was a Joint meeting Of
the Women's Christian Association and
Women's Union Benevolent Society. The
meeting was called by the former society
to hear a proposition, as Martha says,
for the organization of a Women's Sanitary
Society. This joint meeting was presided
over by Miss Lizzie Boyd, City Missionary,
and the gentleman who spoke on this
occasion was DR.. James l.. Reeves. DR..
Reeves urged upon the ladies the i'm
pOrtance of such an organization and enter
tanned the Society at some length AS to the
best way of putting the city ina good SAM
tary condition. 1t was his opinion that n
woman paid by the city, as an inspect r,
could do the work much better than the
inefficient men who were appointed by the
Health Committee.
DR.. Reeves offered his services to the
Society, Should one be formed also "Sani-
tary Literature gratis, to be distributed
by the inspector. Mr.. Editor, we do not
desire newspaper ~notoriety, but we do
wish 10 set ourselves right before the
public, who since the formation of our
Society, nearly five years ago, has sus-
tanned rs in our undertaking that of re-
lieving the wants of the poor and
destitute in our midst.
We would just here notify Martha"
that her services as a newspaper correspOn-
dent are not needed by Us. She has in
her communication made it appear that the
W. L. b. Society reflected on the n
in which the authorities appointed by
Council have discharged their duties. She
would also convey the idea that we have
S1Au AhCSC hlSh haNC ~ III liCll w
with the public" that the suffering,
dirty, sick and dying might have been
prevented by conscientious exercise of duty
on the part of those who were entrusted
with the matter"
We would advise "Martha," before she
again attempts to write a communication
that she know whereof she speaks"
We repudiate the entire communication
of "Martha's'' as false from the beginning
to the end, so far as any intention on the
part Of the Woman's Union Benevolent
Society TO reflect on the Board of Health
or Health Officer, either the present Off
Gals or those who have served in the past.
The following resolution was unanimous
ly adopted by the Society:
ResoIped, That we heartily diapprove of
anything that savors OF ''Woman's
Rights" and that we do not desire "a
voice in selecting the men who shall fill
these places of public trust"
Respectfully,
Mrs. W. J. W. CowDEN, Sec'y.
By order o. SOciety.

THE VIRGINIA STREET PAVEMENT
Very Much In Need of Immediate Repair
Sunken and Worn Blocks.

Very Much In Need of Immediate Repair
Sunken and Worn Blocks.
At the earliest possible moment the
Board of Public Works should overhaul
and carefully repair the brick block pave
ment on Virginia street, Island. If it is
allowed to 60 over the present season q
considerable portion of the street will have
to he renewed. At the east end of the
pavement, where South Front street runs
up to Virginia, the paving blocks are very
much worn, hundreds of bricks being from
half an inch to an inch below the general
level. nGoing westward from the curve
of the car tracks, along Virginia street,
the pavement in the centre, for a distance
of one hundred feet, is almost or quite as
rough and uneven as a bouldered street,
and it will not take long for n strip Of the
central blocks, ten or fifteen feet each, to
be DESTROYED. On out the street this un-
evenness and wearing of the blocks is no
ticiable. but in q less marked degree.
The expenditure now of an inoonsiderable
sum of money will put the street in good
condition, but if neglected the cost OF re-
pairs will rapidly increase.
The unken blocks should he removed
a little sand put in, and new, hard-burned
blocks substituted. There are probably
two or three thousand sunken and worn
blocks in the street at present, outside Of
the bad place at the crossing of Front and
Virginia streets, q large part of which
should he relaid with new bricks on a solid
| foundation.

The Killing of Wagner.

There are no new developments in the
killing of John G.. Wagner on the c. * =.
track, at Steubenville, last Saturday night,
but the Coroner is busily engaged in try
ing to get at the bottom of the affair. One
peculiar feature of the matter and one
which makes the case look more suspicious,
is the fact that no one can find out who
was along with Wagner on the night he
was killed. The parents are growing more
strong in their belief that their son was
either knocked down, robbed and left lying
on the track or was killed outright. The
engineer has not yet given his testimony,
but it will not throw much light upon the
case. He says that he had detached his
engine from the train and was going to
the water station. He saw nothing on the
track, but when about to enter the freight
depot he felt something under his engine
and stopped it.. He and his fireman got OF
and found the man. He was dragged
about fifty yards. This makes the third
mysterious death at S~teubenville within a
very short time.

A PLAY
Produced In n superb Manner at the
Opera House, Last Evening.

Produced In a superb Manner at the
Opera House, Last Evening.
Only a fair but cultured and appTecia'
tive audience greeted Frank Mayo and hi:
company, at the Opera House, last even
ing, in the production of "NOrdeck," and
that is Just exactly where every one who
did not attend got badly left, to use a for,
chile, if not elegant, expression. 1t seems
almost useless with cold type to attempt
to give our readers anything like an idea
OF the play or Of the people producing it.
'Nordeck" is beyond doubt, q great play
a drama of power, pathOs and passiOn-a
play which naturally, but irreSistibly
draws and holds the attention
of the audience through all
the varied and powerful situations
and incidents until the end is reached.
Frank Msyo's presentation OF the title role
and his Interpretation of the character from
the first scene where ''NOrdeck's" wild,
impulsiYe nature repels his mother and her
family, until the end, where his noble,
fearless character bring them to his feet, is
faultless in every respect and stamps him
as a great actor.
Miss Alice Fischer as princess Zul-
liski," ''Nordeck's" mother, showed tai
emit of the highest order and a power that
is seldom seen on the stage. Added to
this, she has grace and a fine figure,
which add to the fine effect of the person
alton of the difficult role. Miss Alice
Lorimer, as Wanda" is charming; her
beauty and talent so happily and plenti-
fully combine, fitting her for the charac-
ter to a nicely. Mr.. James II. Taylor, As
''Wibold," is excellent; he played the
part to perfection. Margaret" his daugh-
ter, was charmingly presented by
Miss Frances Graham. In fact,
all the company might be
spoken ofin complimentary terms, for it
excellent throughout. Such plays as
''Nodeck' with such interpreters as Mr..
Mayo, Miss Fischer and such a company
are few and far between, and one cannot
get enough of them. The audience was
movedto positive enthusiasm last evening
and called the curtain up several times at
the end of each act. The performance de-
serves a packed house tonight and will
no doubt have it. Those who miss seeing
'Nordeck" will have cause to regret IT.

CRIMINAL MATTERS.
A OOLoRBD YOUTH WANTED ON A SERIOUS
CHARGE.
Suspected Of Touching a Stranger for One Hundred
Dollars - Arrested for Stealing q
Watch - Miscellaneous

Our readers will remember that on the
night of the 10th inst. George Otto, a
German barber of Darlington, Ohio, who
had been in the city for several days, on a
spree, was robbed of about one hundred
dollars in bills. Otto had drawn the mon
ey from the Exchange Bank during the
day, and after spending a small amount
for drinks, cigars, ETC., wound
ND in the evening by drifting
into the Mcclure House office late
at night, where he curled up IN a chalr
and went to sleep. When he awoke and
went through his clothes, he made the dis,
~coyery that he had been touched for all
his cash except q little loose change. he
laid the fact of his loss before the police,
and the next day left town III company
with his wife, who came up from Clarlpg-
ton to look after him.
This officers suspected two or three
parties of the robbery, but nothing cal
culated 10 arouse suspicion was
observed, and the surveillance ceased
In the meantime, however, a well known
character of the colOred persuasion sud
denly bloomed out with a roll in his peck
ets n state of affairs in marked contrast
with his usual im~pecunious condition, and
during Thursday and Friday OF last week
he kent himself so well soaked with liquor
that his employers were compelled 10 dis,
charge him. The youth then let go all
holds, and gathering about him a company
of boon companions, white n Disck,
they gave Market street q
decided cardinal tint during two OF three
successive nights. The subject OF ouT
| sketch was too shrewd to trust himself
with all his money, and, accordingly,
handed over $57 to a gentleman to keep
for him. In answer to inquiries Is 10
| where he got so much money, the gentle.
man who was enjoying life said he had
received it by express from a corporation
which was in his debt, and that more was
coming from the same source. Monday
afternoon he left over the b. x. U. fOr
| Washington, Pa, With u companion, and
at Washington he purchased a ticket tor
Pittsburgh. ,
Yesterday, the police having gathered
together all the facts, concluded they had
a good case, and q telegram was according
" sent by Chief Smith to the Pittsburgh
police, describing the fugitive, and asking
that he be arrested and held until a
Wheeling officer could be sent for him.
A warrant was issued on q charge OF rob-
berry from the person, and it Is probable
that the arrest will be effected some time
to-day.

THE usual treatment Of catarrh is very
unsatisfactory, as thousands Of despairing
patients can testify. On this point a
trustworthy medical writer says: proper
local treatment is positively necessary to
success, but many, if not most Of the rem.
edies in general use by physicians, afford
but temporary benefit. A cure certainly
cannot be expected from s~nuffs, powders,
douches and Washes" Ely's Cream Balm
is a remedy which combines the important
requisites of quick action, specific curative
power, with perfect safety and pleasant
ness to the patient.
